Tottenham drew 0-1. In the second half the tide turned.

Werner’s equalizer in the 32nd minute of the second half, and defender Romero’s header came back three minutes later.

‘Captain’ Son Heung-min supported the team, which gained momentum.

Son Heung-min, who caught the ball in a counter-attacking opportunity on 43 minutes of the second half, ran straight ahead.

Son Heung-min, who ran about 50 meters alone, burst through the Crystal Palace net, sending fans into a frenzy.

Son Heung-min scored his 13th league goal, putting a dent in the team’s 3-1 come-from-behind victory.

This is his first goal in three months since he scored his 12th goal on New Year’s Day, and his first goal since returning from the Asia Cup.

Heung-min’s son, who got plenty of rest after the Wolverhampton game on the 18th, still had a bandage wrapped around his finger, but it wasn’t a big problem for him.

“I’m very happy with the score today. It makes me even happier to be able to celebrate like this in front of the fans after returning from the Asian Cup.”

In addition to his 13th goal, Son Heung-min, who led the team as a front line striker throughout the match, also had the pleasure of being chosen as the best player of the match.

Tottenham coach Postekoglou showed deep trust in Son Heung-min, saying, “Even if he loses a finger, there won’t be any big problems.”

“It’s just a finger. If he loses it, it won’t really matter. He’ll still be able to play. It’s fine.”
